Hi, I am currently trying to do backtesting for several EAs. I realized that you can actually download the price history only up to a certain period? For example, the 1Min bars can only be downloaded up to about 2-3 months back at max. (and by downloading, I mean scrolling the price chart as far back as possible until it does not download anymore). I also have tried increasing the "Max Bars in Charts and History" setting in Metatrader up to the max value.

Is there anyway for me to download the price history for a longer period of time? Preferable, I will need 1min and 1hour charts up to the last for years or so.

Thanks

Read this guide by Hendrick on how to get 90% modelling quality (90% is max btw):

Please remember the performance of an EA in a backtest should not be taken as proof the system works (or otherwise).
